I don't know what you mean by 'disappear completely'.  Do you mean that the
guest stops responding or operating?  If so, it could be the dispatching
problem that has been discussed lately.

Subject: [LINUX-390] Linux image disappears


Greetings,

Another newbie joining the list. I was able to hear a number of you speak
at the recent Share and found that tremendously helpful. My shop is new
both to VM and to Linux. We're running z/VM 4.3 and SuSE SLES 7 for S/390
(2.4.7 kernel, vanilla install off the CD with no other maintenance
applied.) Our primary purpose is to create an environment for running
WebSphere 4.0.4, although we are also experimenting with DB2 Connect and
Tivoli's Policy Director.

My question concerns a problem that occurs sporadically - the Linux guest
will just unexpectedly disappear completely and must be re-ipled. In all
cases I was the only one logged onto the system - sometimes actively
working, sometimes not. We do have runlevel 5 enabled and I do make use of
the GUI desktop via Hummingbird's Exceed product.

Any suggestions on why this might be happening, what events might trigger
it and where I could look for diagnostic information would be appreciated.
